In the movie Winter Kills (1979) John Huston's character, before plummeting from a skyscraper to his death, he says to Jeff Bridges' character:

You get out of this alive, son-
You get out of this alive.
Take our money out of the western world and put it in South America.
Oh!
Brazil. Ah!
Aah!
Brazil! They're the next ones up!

Also this movie is shockingly good, 10/10 recommend from me won't spoil anything.

What the heck is it, what's the origin, and what is it supposed to mean? Looks like some Philips CD-i game.

  • it is "morshupls"

  • Morshu is a shopkeeper character from Link: The Faces of Evil

  • It's generally used to convey someone giving an overly verbose and possibly asinine explanation "Morshu Explains" see also :pronouns:

I'm going to assume communities.

Correct.

Does that mean that hexbear can have communities that only native hexbear users can see?

Correct, though this was a Lemmy update not Hexbear so most instances should be able to use this feature if I understand correctly.

Did you see that one time he carried a sink into twitter headquarters? That was some pretty epic memeing!

Doubt it, unless Owlcat has sold their soul to the James Workshop devil.

Maybe another Divinity, or something new; there's lots of other decent RPG systems that haven't been adapted yet.

I have just stopped watching TV because of ads, anything I watch is straw-hat-pirates or online with adblock; but every once in a while I'll go and visit my brother or parents and see some and TBH the most terrifying ones are those that are trying to do ironic or cringe millennial humor. Or just medication advertisements in general, those are cognitohazards

It's so real and would you believe me if I said the first line was literally

Yes, because this circus was never intended to function with "factional" (read: party) politics, and we've spent the past 250 years trying to back-fill those cracks. The country was founded on a document that leaned on the premise that the US ruling class was de facto one big political party with aligned interests, but this assumption immediately falls apart as soon as the country needs to start actually internally developing and different interest groups reveal themselves. Even if you go all the way back to the beginning our elections are a spectacle and clown show, trying to ape participation at all levels of the republic (All levels being all the white propertied men) while making sure the levers of power are just out of reach of actual democratic accountability.

Nah this is an entire genre of conservative grift brought to you by the same dudes curing what ails them with colloidal silver and keeping all their wealth in gold. Jim Bakker was hawking bunker buckets in the 80's and 90's if not earlier.
